Airbnb has introduced a mandatory requirement for hosts to
reveal whether the property is a private home or a unit operated as
part of a professional business.

Airbnb said: "Most of the listings on Airbnb
are hosts' personal spaces, which means they have personal
furnishings and belongings. We know many Airbnb guests are looking
for accommodations that have these personal touches. To make sure
guests know what to expect in the space, we will now ask hosts to
specify whether their listing is a personal home or not. Some
Airbnb hosts personally interact with their guests and it is an
important part of the experience. We will now ask hosts to specify
whether they are a host who socialises with guests or not."

Among other non-obligatory new information sections, hosts will be
able to specify whether they are using the services of property
managers, friends, family or other individuals to help them manage
their Airbnb hosting activities.
